ISTANBUL, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet
Davutoglu confirmed on Saturday that Turkish forces had struck
Kurdish YPG militia targets in northern Syria and demanded that
the group withdraw from the area it has recently captured.

"We will retaliate against every step (by the YPG)," he told
reporters in comments shown live by state broadcaster TRT Haber.
"The YPG will immediately withdraw from Azaz and the surrounding
area and will not go close to it again."
